f-spot cannot show the photo which filename contain chinese words.
But the photo contained only english words([0-9][A-Z][a-z][-.]) can be show correctly.

What locale are you using on your system?
What charset is your input in?
Are there any error messages?
These question will help you answer if it is a localization problem, or a problem with f-spot and your character set.

Please provide all the additional information you can provide regarding the language setup on your computer.

Also, which versions of f-spot and mono are you running?

[elleryq (elleryq)]

1. My locale is zh_TW.UTF-8
2. The filename's charset is utf-8. It can display correctly when I use file manager.
3. In GUI, there are no error messages. I will try to execute f-spot in gnome-terminal to see more messages.

I use the latest f-spot and mono which was released by dapper.
Later I will report the actual version.

Thanks.

mono: 1.1.13.4
f-spot: 0.1.11

I tried to execute f-spot in gnome-terminal.
This is the major error message:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "/home/ellery/Photos/2006/2/25/039-c-19.jpg". : /home/ellery/Photos/2006/2/25/039-c-19.jpg
The real filename is /home/ellery/Photos/2006/2/25/039-花季-19-1.jpg

So it seems the filename in database is wrong.
These photos were imported in previous version.
They can be shown correctly in previous version. After I upgraded, they were gone.

Then I remove them and import them again.
They are appeared again.

I will keep tracking.
Sorry for bothering.

No need to apologise, this is probably due to an encoding bug that crept in before 0.1.11 was uploaded. 0.1.11 sets the sqlite database encoding to UTF-8 also, so it may have been originally imported with an incorrect encoding

Closing as F-Spot using UTF-8 throughout now.
